Advocating For Yourself in the Healthcare Arena

Tools to Help Advocate For Yourself

Health is Wealth

You have heard the term before: health is wealth. Taking care of your health is one of the most important values you can give yourself. It is an investment that pays off more than any other, long-term. Many people, of all ages, depend on their healthcare provider to make all the decisions for them. Yes, healthcare providers are key for your team. That is what we call it… a team because it is a team. It clearly takes a village, a team, when it comes to managing your health. No one person is more responsible other than YOU though. That is why it is important to advocate for yourself.

How do you advocate for yourself?

  • Find the right provider.
  • Ask questions.
  • Take notes at your appointment. We provide the tools below to help.
  • Follow-up.
  • Ask someone to come with you to appointments for support- if you do not have anyone, visit this non-profit site for resources or contact your local social services to inquire about volunteers who help with patient advocacy assistance.
  • If you are concerned, get a second opinion.
  • Exercise, eat well, and be proactive outside of the healthcare provider’s office.
